| | The Concept of Text in Cultural Semiotics |
 | | The Tartu school uses this model, notably, to understand the relationship between Russia and the West, during the time of Peter the Great and the slavophiles, for whom the part of culture is played by the West and Russia, respectively. |
 | | However, I have suggested that the art-sphere, particularly during Modernism, could be conveniently understood using the Tartu school model, and substituting the opposition between art and non-art for that between culture and non-culture (Sonesson 1992; 1993a; 1994a,b). |
 | | Bakhtin (1986:103ff), who is one of the averred precursors of the Tartu school, has also written an article about the notion of text, which he describes as "the primary datum of the human sciences"; "the immediate reality (reality of thought and of experience) within which this thought and these disciplines can exclusively constitute themselves". |
